Israel misses the point and consequences of its actions in wake of flotilla outcry
In the wake of an outcry over its treatment of detained activists, Israel has focused on messaging as its actions undermine its support from the international community.Laura Tingle (ABC News)

“State Secretary Willemijn Aerdts for Digital Economy and Sovereignty has addressed the US ambassador regarding the public disclosure of names of Dutch civil servants. Vrij Nederland reported on Friday about the names of civil servants that have been made public. Microsoft had shared that data with the House of Representatives.”
Yes, please, keep sharing the data of European citizens with Microsoft, Google, Palantir, etc. What’s the worst that could happen?

The suicide of a superpower
A toast to its own downfall
It is almost impossible to describe how primitive Trump's approach is and how much joy it brings to the enemies of the USA: After its suicide as a superpower, America will find it difficult to regain its status

Damit es nicht untergeht: Die #USA stufen ab sofort #Transgender als #Terroristen ein. Exakt so formuliert in der soeben veröffentlichten "Counterterrorism Strategy 2026" auf Seite 7.
Zwei Dinge dazu:
- Die Faschistenbande im Weissen Haus ist moralisch vollkommen verwahrlost und kühlt ihr Mütchen, indem sie auf eine vulnerable Gruppe einprügelt.
- Betroffene brauchen unsere uneingeschränkte Solidarität.
Ich auch und das sind alles ganz wichtige Punkte, jedoch könnte man mit NS-Terminologie wie "Gleichschaltung" die #Politikverdrossenheit des (noch) aktiven Politikmainstreams weiter befördern.
Motto:
"Ich kann ja ohnehin nichts tun, die Seilschaftendemokratie (o. ä.) hat ja schon Tradition."
#Deutschland ist trotz #Springer immer noch Meilenweit von Zuständen wie in den #USA und #Großbritannien entfernt--ganz zu schweigen von den #TotalitärenStaaten

Trump’s Iranian Nightmare
Trump’s catastrophic miscalculation in Iran and refusal to accept the inevitability of defeat is pushing us towards a global depression and ensuring the suffering and immiseration of millions.Chris Hedges (The Chris Hedges Report)
Long, but worth reading:👀
"Our current globalised #tech industry can only exist because of the protectionism and policy uniformity imposed by the #UnitedStates on its hegemony. That billions of people across dozens of countries work and interact on unified platforms whose laws and regulations are, for all practical purposes, basically that of the #US... is an artifact of US dominance."

Black People Are The Only True Third Party There Has Ever Been In The US Of A

As Democrats "have steadily been wiping out Republican officials in the core #Atlanta counties of swing-state of #Georgia,"
The governor quietly SIGNED INTO LAW a requirement ONLY for the 5 most populous Metro Atlanta counties of Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, Dekalb & Clayton that FORBIDS POLITICAL PARTY DESIGNATION on ballots for most local officials.
It also moves elections for most affected officials to May, when there is typically less voter turnout.

"Developers talk not just about how the #AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the #job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience because they have to go through the output and fix its mistakes. More concerning, developers who use AI at work report that they feel like they are de-skilling themselves and losing their ability to do their #jobs as well as they used to."

2) Facilitate the passing of the Nat'l Popular Vote Interstate Compact; ends #ElectoralCollege

4) National law against any #gerrymandering. Independent panels create #voting districts.

i hesitated to post this, that i'm making light of someone with mental health issues. but this is mental health issues insofar as it's the end product of #entitlement
it's emblematic of what is going on in the #usa now
and this isn't about rules. that's the conceit for her to channel her real feelings
what is it about these crowds feels threatening to her? i wonder what?

she wouldn't be acting like this if these were white crowds: she wouldn't feel threatened by that

Fewer American workers are earning a living wage, according to a new study. Just over half can cover costs for themselves and their families with what they’re bringing home from work.

When the current #SCOTUS first ate away at the #VotingRightsAct a few years ago, the logic they expressed was essentially, "Racism is over, we don't need this anymore."
talkingpointsmemo.com/live-blo… proves that we very much do need it: systemic #racism is and always has been an essential feature of the #USA, and #Trump and the #GOP's mission has been to codify it as much as possible.
Never, ever vote #Republican.

There are many problems with #USA #democracy
Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege
Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it
Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election:
The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC
